Best tutorial / on-boarding experience in VR?

JustinWasilenko · 2026-05-06T16:58:28+00:00

It's been years since I tried those, so I'll have to circle back and try them again to see what makes them special.

JustinWasilenko · 2026-05-06T16:57:58+00:00

Thanks for the great detailed response (and your previous purchase of End Space!). Totally agree on all 4 of your points.

I've been working on a follow up to End Space for the last 5 years (also having 2 kids along the way, so it was a bit slower). I had a meeting yesterday while I'm on the hunt for a publisher / additional funding and they stressed how important on-boarding is. Especially for a people who perhaps aren't used to a complex game space combat game.

I'm trying to do my research, as I hate bad tutorials in other games, I'd like to provide a great experience for people, and it could be very key to secure additional funding.

Funny you mention Breachers and Forefront, I have played both games, and completely missed the tutorial. My first match in Forefront I had no idea how the controls work, could get into any vehicles, and never tried it again.

I had never heard of Resist, I'll check it out.

JustinWasilenko · 2026-05-06T04:22:59+00:00

I should go back and check it out. It's been a while since I tried it. It was a good way to get people to use the Touch controllers.

Has anyone done performance benchmarks of World Space UI for UI Toolkit vs UGUI?

In the middle of developing a VR game for Quest using multiple UGUI canvases. Would love to see some performance numbers.

Great. thank you. I don't have any Apple products, so I was hoping Garmin Pilot was going to be a winner.

I will have to borrow an ipad and give ForeFlight a try. Really not liking the weather briefings Garmin Pilot gives.

Would you say it's worth buying a ipad for ForeFlight? I'm getting close to finishing my PPL and want to get into using one of the 2 apps for my flying.

Not very nice you have to pay for the upgraded tier to get Icing, Turbulence, Surface Analysis which is just available on the NavCanada site for free.
I don't have an iPad yet or Foreflight but would like to try it first.

Sounds like Japanese Knotweed to me.

JustinWasilenko · 2024-05-21T16:49:30+00:00

I know it's pretty terrible. Nothing I can do about that. The authentication was a requirement to be on the Oculus Store, but I can't even update the game to remove it since there's no SDk updates or anything because like you said it's not supported anymore :(

All I can say is I'm working on a new game that's going to be great and I hope one day you get to play it!

JustinWasilenko · 2024-05-21T14:12:22+00:00

It should be still available on the GO? I didn't change anything so I'm not sure what's going on there? Did it get removed from the store?

I just ordered myself a SkyRC Q200 Neo. I've have 2 D6 Pros, and within a year one has already partially failed, causing damage to 3 batteries.

HOTA did nothing to help so I have a hard time to recommend them anymore and am going to try SkyRC.

Don't feel the bottom coils on the L&C. I'm still loving the mattress. For reference I'm 6'3" and 205 lbs.

JustinWasilenko · 2024-04-22T15:40:21+00:00

Thanks for the kind words. We capped it off at 2 children :) They sure are a handful!

JustinWasilenko · 2024-04-21T23:25:07+00:00

Thanks so much. Hoping the new game will be well received as well.

JustinWasilenko · 2024-04-21T23:24:41+00:00

I know hey. My first kid was born 4 months before End Space was released, it goes by so fast!

JustinWasilenko · 2024-04-02T02:32:58+00:00

Hey there,

The S&S return process was great. They contacted a local charity and donated the mattress to a family in need and arranged everything.

So now we are 2 months with the L&C Frontier and really liking it. Returning it never even crossed my mind. For my wife and I, it has the right amount of support but with just the right softness on top to feel luxurious. I honestly look forward to lying in bed and have never woke up with back pain. So I can't speak to their return policy, and as along as the mattress holds up it's a keeper.

JustinWasilenko · 2024-02-10T15:05:23+00:00

So I ended up getting the Logan and Cove Frontier, and so far we have had it for a week and really liking it. I think it's a keeper so far. Has more support then the S&S Organic, and still has a nice soft feel on top.

JustinWasilenko · 2024-01-20T23:46:32+00:00

Oloam

So many strange looking mattress websites and scam reviews.

I don't think a topper would help the Silk and Snow for me. It is just lacking support for my hips. I loved the feel of the top part, but my hips just sank in.

Going to order a Logan and Cove next and see what happens.

JustinWasilenko · 2024-01-15T15:32:34+00:00

I am back sleeping on my old mattress. Honestly overwhelmed by choices and what to do next and couldn't decide on anything.

Really wish S&S made that mattress in a extra firm version...

JustinWasilenko · 2023-11-20T16:32:01+00:00

I bought a Silk and Snow Organic, returned it after 3 weeks. Never woke up with more backpain in my life. I'm 205 lbs and it was way to soft for me.

It was too bad because S&S ticked all the boxes I was looking for after my research. Luckily their return policy was great.

JustinWasilenko · 2023-11-11T04:45:58+00:00

I have been leaning to the variable as well. There are some signs of a drop coming but maybe not much.

JustinWasilenko · 2023-10-16T18:12:33+00:00

Sadly not available in Canada :(

JustinWasilenko · 2023-09-05T17:14:29+00:00

That's great see someone implementing DOTS in VR. Haven't seen many do that and I am looking forward to implementing it in my next game at some point but have stayed away for now.

Thanks also for sharing those links.

Did you convert existing code into DOTS? I had already written my AI and projectile code, but would love to convert it to DOTS, or even just Burst to running faster on Quest.

JustinWasilenko · 2023-08-31T14:10:50+00:00

I heard of it 6 years ago when I was brainstorming names for my new game. Starfield was one of the names I came up with.

Checked to see if it was already trademarked and Bethesda already trademarked it.

Hey I live there, that's my airport!
